Parenting is not an easy task. Bryan Post, an adoptee and Therapist, used his own experience as well as research and training to develop a technique that involves what he calls a love-based approach to parenting. This technique considers the attachment children have toward their caregivers, but even more so, centers on the bonding experienced by parents toward the children in their care. Rather than concentrate on changing the behavior of children to conform to adult expectations, Bryan tunes into the stress and trauma parents have experienced that can affect their interactions with their children. Bryan details how stress leads not only to negative behavior in children but also to poor reactions from parents. Love and patience are important keys to connecting and guiding our children. This technique encourages us as parents to breathe and be slow to choose our reaction to our children.
